In 1977, Mısıroğlu was a losing candidate of the National Salvation Party for the Grand National Assembly of Turkey.[7] Following the 1980 Turkish coup d'état, he was stripped of his Turkish citizenship so he applied for asylum in Germany and moved to Frankfurt.[7] He then moved to the UK for a little before returning to Germany and later returning to Turkey upon the reinstatement of his citizenship.[8] He continued his writing career and founded Osmanlılar İlim ve İrfan Vakfı (Ottomans Education and Insight Foundation) in 1994.[9] He became widely known through talks uploaded on YouTube.[10]

Criticism

Mısıroğlu has been described as a conspiracy theorist by his opponents.[34][35] His claims include:

Mısıroğlu gained the ire of seculars in Turkey with his quote "I wish the Greeks had won",[39][40] for his resentment against the early years of the republic, and he continued, "neither the caliphate nor the sharia would be abolished by them."[39][40] His works came under criticism by historian İlber Ortaylı for allegedly lacking scientific approach, knowledge and distorting the facts.[41]
